Energy strategy Burgenland Burgenland 2010

Burgenland: Map and dates Size: km² Inhabitants: Eisenstadt: inh. Towns, villages: 171 Rural area North: flat landscape (wind) South: hills (woods)

Burgenland: Visions and goals Electricity autonomy in 2013 Complete energy autonomy in 2020 Use of own resources with added value Implementation of new business and technologies No conflict with food production Implementation at regional, communal and private level

Electricity  60% of electricity consumption is produced from renewables  370 MW wind power is installed. (production of 800 Mill. kWh = 50% of electricity consumption)  Another 510 MW of wind power are foreseen  Implementation of wind power only in defined “wind zones” in accordance with ecology organisations and nature protection

Energy autonomy  Energy team Burgenland installed  Energy strategy focus mainly at communal level  EKKO as cooperative communal energy strategy  ESPAN as interregional energy strategy  Beside energy saving high focus at energy production from renewable resources  Support of technologies fitting to communal or private level

EKKO: Aims and Requirements Solutions concerning energy requirements on communal (regional) level Integration of energy issues as a part of regional (communal) planning and development Efficient, moderated and supported process for analysis, development of a concept and implementation plan Cooperative Bottom Up Process, active Collaboration of Communes Cooperative Bottom Up Process, active Collaboration of Communes

EKKO: Communal Planning and Development energy saving plan  Development of an „energy saving plan“ for the whole commune production plan  Development of a „production plan“ concerning the use of existing resources implementation plan  Contains a short, middle and long term „implementation plan“

Communale and regional Contribution to Climate protection aims, economic development, quality of life, sustainability resultsCommune1results Commune n results Commune 3 results Commune 2 total CO2 reduction, total energy produced, number of measures, implementation, Plan, number of co operations, actions

ESPAN: interregional project E SPAN Goal: development of an interregional Energy Strategy PANnonia Implementation of network, strategies, pilot actions, know how transfer, awareness actions Implementation of and working with Energy team. Co-ordination of various strategies and actions Combination of efficiency and resources from pilots until implementation

long term „Energy balance“ long term „Energy balance“

Analysis of current situation Definition of goals, Concepts, Strategies Implementation plans, Cooperation (short, middle, long term)

„Energy balance“ (=autonomy) possible?

Theses 1: Energy balance (Autonomy) is possible,  If  If energy aware acting of people is self evident  If  If all building will reach a standard of a lowest energy or passive house  If  If energy production will be extended from central to regional, communal, local until the private households  If  If mobility will become radical more efficient AND at least partly changed to eletrctic-Mobility  If  If Photo voltaic will need only low or no funding and will be used generally

Theses 2: Energy balance (Autonomy) is possible,  If  If production of liquid energy (fuels) out of renewable resources will be used economicly  If  If sufficient storing of Electraitiy and gas will be state of the art  If  If energy production will be possible with only low (or no) heat(waste)  If a suffient number of people will join!
